The Steaming Stone
The Steaming Stone is a two story establishment constructed from polished granite and reinforced with bright copper piping. The ground floor features several communal pools of varying temperatures, while the upper floor is reserved for more intimate and specialized services. High windows near the ceiling allow shafts of natural light to pierce through the constant mist, illuminating the mosaic floors.

The air is thick with humid warmth and the soothing scents of eucalyptus and sandalwood. A low hum of relaxed conversation provides a backdrop to the constant, rhythmic sound of trickling water.

History
Upper Floor Massage Suites
The second floor contains three private rooms dedicated to massage therapy. Each room is soundproofed and features a heavy oak door for total privacy. Kriv charges a premium for these rooms, often catering to those who need to discuss sensitive business while receiving treatment for their physical ailments.
Services and Therapeutic Benefits
A standard soak costs 5 silver pieces. For 15 gold pieces, a patron can receive a deep tissue massage that grants the benefits of a Lesser Restoration spell. For the truly wealthy, a volcanic mud wrap provides a plus two bonus to Constitution saving throws for the next twenty four hours.
Security and Weapon Storage
All patrons must surrender their gear at the entrance. Items are placed in ironbound lockers enchanted with Arcane Lock. Kriv carries the master key at all times, and two burly guards stand watch near the changing area to ensure no blades enter the wet zones.
